Chapter 72: Must Have Been You Who Reported Her Behind Her Back!

He had no choice but to go in, tuck her in, pour out the fruit juice, wash the cup clean, and then turn off the lights for her.

This little woman was truly serious when she worked; she had absolutely no room for him in her eyes.

Han Yang was furious and kissed her lips again.

It wasn't that he wanted to kiss her awake; he just wanted to stop at the right moment.

The woman was truly too sleepy and pushed him away with disdain, as if she were shooing away a mosquito.

He sat in the darkness and watched her for a while, then had no choice but to leave helplessly.

……

Bai Shuruo spent a week busy like this and finally finished the design proposal.

Next Tuesday was the time for the meeting to discuss the proposals, and she was confident.

However, at noon that day, she had been delayed by some work and missed her lunch time, so she stayed in the office to gnaw on biscuits.

He Piaoxue didn't go to the cafeteria to eat either; she asked He Yu and a few other male colleagues to look over her proposal, and she had specially brought sushi and drinks she made herself that morning to treat them.

Bai Shuruo's seat was further back, and they didn't pay her any mind, focusing instead on reviewing the proposal for He Piaoxue.

Bai Shuruo heard them discussing: "... You can't do it this way in this part. Look, the parameters for the rounded corners are... It's best to change this part too; it doesn't match the parameters here..."

Bai Shuruo had only heard this by chance, and she suddenly became vigilant.

He Piaoxue's parameters were different from hers?

She listened for a while longer, and the more she heard, the stranger it felt. Could it be that every intern was working on something different?

She didn't say a word. She waited until the office clerk returned from lunch before going to ask if everyone's parameters were different.

The clerk immediately widened her eyes and said, "How is that possible? This is the same project. You didn't take the wrong parameter documents, did you?"

Bai Shuruo took out the documents the clerk had printed that day and said, "This is what you gave me."

The clerk looked left and right and said, "Any document that passes through my hands, I sign. This is indeed my signature, but I've given you a lot of documents recently. Did you take them the wrong way around?"

"Of course not. It's exactly what you gave me recently. Look, the date is from that day."

The clerk was also puzzled: "Then go back first, and I'll check again."

The clerk didn't find anything, but Bai Shuruo suddenly realized something.

She didn't say more to the clerk but waited for He Jian to return to report the situation directly to him.

He Jian was also puzzled: "The documents are different? How did this happen?"

"I suspect the documents were swapped," Bai Shuruo said.

Because there was the precedent of Zhang Liang, He Jian didn't dare to be careless this time. He first went to discuss it with Wei Zhuguan.

After hearing this, Wei Zhuguan was naturally a bit impatient: "Why? Why do the interns target her every time?"

He Jian said: "Bai Shuruo's comprehension is very strong, and her design thinking is very broad. Things others can't think of, she can. Perhaps because of this, that's why..."

Wei Zhuguan said: "Report it to the Human Resources Department and investigate it carefully. Don't be as sloppy as last time."

……

Bai Shuruo waited patiently for news.

At the same time, she borrowed another intern's parameters to take a look. These two sets of parameters were indeed different; many places had been changed. If the parameters were changed even a little bit, the proposal would deviate significantly.

But after Bai Shuruo just glanced at these parameters, she immediately had new ideas and a new proposal in her mind.

Perhaps this was the advantage of someone who loves to let their imagination run wild.

Near the end of the afternoon, a Vice Manager from the Human Resources Department called He Piaoxue out, saying it was for a small meeting.

When He Piaoxue returned, her eyes were red, and she was packing her things.

As soon as He Yu and the others saw this, they immediately asked with heartache and confusion: "Piaoxue, what's wrong? Are you quitting?"

"I... I've resigned," He Piaoxue said while wiping her tears.

"What on earth is going on? How could you suddenly leave when everything was fine? You were fired, weren't you? Piaoxue, your ability is fine. Who on earth went behind your back to report you?"

He Piaoxue glanced at Bai Shuruo and said aggrievedly and innocently: "It has nothing to do with anyone else; it's my own reason."

However, this glance of hers had already made He Yu and the others conclude that Bai Shuruo was the culprit.

He Yu and the others glared fiercely at Bai Shuruo: "Bai Shuruo, what did you go to the Human Resources Department to report about Piaoxue?"

Another male colleague said: "What else could she report? It must be that she saw us treating Piaoxue well and being willing to guide her work, so Bai Shuruo thought Piaoxue was cheating. At noon, we were guiding Piaoxue, and she was watching from behind. I guessed then that she must be dissatisfied. Piaoxue is such a well-behaved and gentle girl, and she follows the rules."

Bai Shuruo: "..."

Although she was a bit dazed, she felt that He Piaoxue being fired had something to do with the parameters.

At this moment, the Human Resources Department called her.

"Is this Bai Shuruo? It's like this: our department conducted a thorough investigation into your issue and discovered that your parameters were swapped by He Piaoxue while she was in the copy room... After verification, we have already processed He Piaoxue's dismissal!"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shuruo looked at He Piaoxue again. He Piaoxue had already reached the office door holding her personal belongings, and He Yu and the others were saying goodbye to her reluctantly.

At that moment, Bai Shuruo was extremely angry; the proposal she had worked so hard on for so many days had actually been done in vain!

She gritted her teeth, walked to the office door, and said loudly: "He Piaoxue, my parameter documents were swapped by you, weren't they?"

Many people looked at Bai Shuruo.

Bai Shuruo decided not to be the scapegoat. She clenched her fists and continued to summon the courage to say to He Piaoxue: "I have never targeted you, let alone been jealous of you. I worked on this proposal for so many days, and it wasn't until noon that I realized my parameters were wrong!"

He Piaoxue was suddenly embarrassed, her face turning red and then white, looking as if she had nowhere to hide.

He Yu said: "Bai Shuruo, what are you saying? Wasn't it you who made things difficult for Piaoxue? Don't rely on being the company's little favorite to go behind people's backs and report them."

Bai Shuruo said righteously: "I didn't report her. At first, I didn't even know it was her. It wasn't until just now that the Human Resources Department told me that I realized my documents had been swapped by He Piaoxue back in the copy room. You can ask if this is the reason she was fired."

The clerk sitting in the front row of the office heard this and realized with a start: "No wonder He Piaoxue was always so eager to help me run to the copy room to copy documents these past few days. So you were harboring this intention!"

He Piaoxue finally couldn't hold on anymore. She held her belongings and lowered her head, saying: "I'm leaving."

Afterward, she hurried out of the office and pressed the elevator button as if fleeing.

Inside the office, He Yu and the others were still in a daze.

Bai Shuruo looked at him coldly: "Colleague He Yu, Piaoxue is carrying so many things, her boyfriend will come to pick her up, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Nonsense, Piaoxue doesn't have a boyfriend. She came to the city from the countryside all by herself to go to school, and relied on her own hard work to get into our company."

Bai Shuruo said: "Whether she does or not, why don't you follow her out and see for yourself?"

"Even if there is one, that is just her cousin."

Bai Shuruo did not want to say anything more, "Whatever you think it is, then that is what it is."

She returned to her seat, opened her proposal, and only felt a headache.

But so what, it had to be redone.

……

He Yu, who was in front, returned to behind his desk, only feeling annoyed and restless; subsequently, he left the office and watched from in front of the floor-to-ceiling window by the elevator lobby.

From this position, one could see the vehicles coming and going at the company entrance.

He stood for a while and saw He Piaoxue carrying a box of personal items as she exited the company doors, then went to the side of the pavilion outside to wait.

She seemed to have been crying, wiping her tears with her hand from time to time.

After a while, a small car drove over, and a young man stepped out of the car; He Yu also knew this man, he was He Piaoxue's cousin.

So, they really were just cousins, what was wrong with that?

However, after this man helped He Piaoxue put her personal items into the trunk, he did not rush to get into the car, but instead hugged He Piaoxue with affection.

He Yu only felt frustrated, but he still comforted himself: He Piaoxue had just lost her job, so it was nothing for a cousin to give her a hug.

But the next second, the cousin actually held He Piaoxue and kissed her fiercely.

He Yu: ……

Damn it!

Women truly are not sincere at all; the more innocent they appear on the surface, the more deeply they actually deceive me.

……

After work, Bai Shuruo returned home, looking exhausted.

Once she got home, she collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

After a while, Han Yangting came out, and seeing Bai Shuruo so extremely tired, he couldn't help but walk over, then took her hand and asked: "Ruoruo, what happened to you? Why do you look so tired? Are you not feeling well?"
